That may well be true, but neither you nor I know either way. A POI is not a suspect, and LE has said nothing about who is or is not a POI since 6/10, over 7 weeks ago.
Exactly! We don't KNOW who is POI... and, in reality, we never did have a full list of the POI from LE - we simply had confirmation of a few names who were POI at one time or another.
The POI list could now be much longer or much shorter...
Personally, I have no problem with BPDs keeping all of their cards close to the chest on this. And the Herald Times (as opposed to HT) reminded us this morning that one of the reasons it appears that they have been late on some stories is that they have not printed stories that are unconfirmed or unsourced. So it's not surprising that other news outlets and blogs have beat them to the punch.
I found this quote to be interesting "The search warrant story is a case in point. On July 16, we reported that Bloomington Police had contacted the very same landfill near Terre Haute and that the local trash from the days close to Lauren Spierer's disappearance had been isolated. We reported that story with on-the-record sources. The story you mention had no named sources, and no one confirming or denying what they were reporting. In my mind, it's about two weeks behind ours." http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/stories/2011/08/03/news.387383.sto
